Bake a batch of these tasty pecan cookies for a sweet alternative to the more traditional holiday cookies, like chocolate chip, peanut butter, and sugar cookies. Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
5 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 large egg white |
3 tablespoons pecans, toasted and finely chopped |
1/3 cup powdered sugar, divided |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring with a whisk.
2. Combine brown sugar and butter in a bowl, and beat with a mixer at high speed until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and egg white, and beat for 1 minute. Stir in the flour mixture and chopped pecans. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 350°.
4. Place 1/4 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl. With moist hands, shape dough into 30 (1/2-inch) balls. Roll balls in 1/4 cup powdered sugar. Place 2 inches apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Place pans in freezer for 10 minutes.
5. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes or until cookies are golden. Cool on pans 2 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely on wire racks. Using a fine sieve, sprinkle the remaining powdered sugar over the cookies.
